In addition to her parents, she is predeceased by her son, Frank Sinko, III, and siblings, Hilda Wuthrich and Franz Kickenweiz, Jr.

Born in Austria to the late Franz and Regina Kohler Kickenweiz, Gertrude resided in Australia for seven years before settling in Fairfield with her husband over 50 years ago.

Above though, she loved spending time with family and dear friends, and was especially thankful for being an Oma to her cherished grandson, Kevin.
